PLOT FOR A NOVEL.
How the Reporter of a Magazine Killed
Himself Too Soon.
From, the London PANTY Fair.

FROM inc IDthbOL bUItIy run
The shocking death by suicide Of Mr..
Harry Boteville Thyme, rendered so much
more shocking by the fact that the rash act
was almost certainly due TO his having
come TO the end of his resources and his
hopes, and to his having therefore before
him once more the prospect Of being horne
less and penniless, has been rendered still
more melancholy by what has occurred
since the fatal act was committed.
One and twenty years ago there died Mr..
Beriah Bottled, Of Norton Hall, Northamp-
tonshire, whose widow married and is still
the wife Of Mr.. Alfred Seymour,
of Knoyle Now Mr.. Bottled,
who had taste for researches
into his own genealogy, discovered, or
thought he discovered, in the course of those
researches, that his own true name was
Boteville, and that he was descended from
a common ancestor with the Marquis OF
Bath. Consequently, at his death, he left
all his fortune, subjecL TO a life annuity OF
$500 year TO his widow, now Mrs. Alfred
Seymour, 20 Lord Baths second son at his
majority, and, failing him, to Lord Harry
Thynnes eldest son. The condition annexed
TO the bequest was that these legatees should
bear the name of Boteville and the fortune
amounted TO some go 900 year. Accord
ingly Lord Baths second son, Lord John,
and Lord Harry Thynne'B eldest son, Harry,
each had con ferrcd upon them the name Of
Botevlle, the one being Lord John Bote-
vile Thyme, the other Mr.. Harry Botevillo
Thyme.
Il seemed an absolute certainty that Lord
John would inherit the Bottled fortune, for
ten days ago he was one of the healthiest,
strongest and most splendid Of Young men,
SO that the possibility of the fortune ever re-
verting TO Mr.. Harry Thyme appeared so
remote as TO be beyond the limits Of any
reasonable expectation. Yet on Thursday
week, the 10Th of May. Lord John was acci-
denrally killed; and, ne being then under
age, the fortune would have reverted to the
next legatee, Mr. Harry Thyme the unfor-
tunate and lamented young man who had
shot himself in Duke Street twelve days
previously out Of despair caused by impend-
ing restitution.

SOME TALL HOTEL BILLS.
The Ashes of the Great Senatorial Fight
in Albany Last Winter.
From the Ne,o York EUenino sun.

From the NelO York EUenind sun.
Two racy bits of gossip concerning the
late Senatorial contest in this State have
been whispered around here during the last
few days, having been brought out by the
recent presence here of Senator Hiscock and
ex Senator Warner Miller, who are both
interested in the stories. The first
story is that after Levi T. Nor
ton had turned his forces over to
Hlscock and succeeded in electing him
to the Senatorship it was proposed by Nor
tons friends that Hiscock and his friends
should pay Mr. Morton's hotel bills. To
this Mr. Hiscock readily assented. His own
enpense in that direction had been very
light, probably not exceeding $500 or
$1,000 He is worth half million dollars
and could agree to pay a large sum of
money after securing the great prize 1t
was several days before Mr.. Morton's bill of
expense at the Delavan and Kenmore hotels
was made up 1t amounted to S13, 400, and
when it was presented to Mr.. Hiscock he
protested that the amount was too large
and kicked at its payment, and finally went
back on his agreement. Mr.. Morton paid
the bill and smothered his chagrin.
The other story has reference to Senator
Warner MIXERS expenses at Albany. A,
syndicate of politicians and wire-pullers was
made up to run his canvass. 1t consisted of
Congressman George West of the Saratoga
district, ex-Congressman Henry g. Bur
leigh of Whitehall, Patent Medicine
Warner of Rochester, and State Senator
Sloan They spent money like water, and
had the hotels and boarding houses of
Albany filled with grangers and politicians
to double or even treble the number that
were brought there for both the other can
didates. The hotel expenses reached the
enormous sum of S3S, 900 or $50, 900. After
the canvass was over the bills were pre-
sented to Mr.. Miller, and the money has not
been forthcoming. The syndicate had made
itself responsible, and pending settlement
with Miller they gave joint note for the
